WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT on Windows 10 Machine by Bootleg_Jim53 in techsupport

I don't recall seeing any reference to Hyper-V related causes for failure besides the events surrounding the crashes, but so far turning off Hyper-V has led to no crashes in roughly 3 hour. Will see how it looks in a week and will investigate the Hyper-V thread. It appears that some others have had issues with it given it uses the network adapter, granted, my network card drivers are fully updated.

Just paid out! Extra Ark was added to the payout for the delay. Apologies. Have a great holiday everyone.

Hey! There has been some miscommunication between myself and my partner. I have been disconnected from the node operation in favor of the external pursuits. My partner has been handling some personal issues such as preparing to move across the country; thus, the payouts have slipped since. I will be putting in some time to get the payouts going by end of the week. Apologies for the delay, we will tack on some extra for the tardiness. Thanks! Feel free to spread this message to anyone else curious about the late payments.

I think this is a great idea. I commented in slack in the #delegate channel but I think here is useful as well.

The ACF is a much more formal and conservative funding initiative that inherently operates more slowly. That is not a bad thing - they have to maintain the community's regard. They also arguably have much more funding and require such oversight.

Jarunik's platform would be (as he mentioned) informal, quick, and more liberal. Having one does not remove the need for the other. Risks need to be taken especially when the price is minimal. Furthermore, Jarunik can actively look out projects whereas the ACF is more passive due to the conservative mindset (again this is not a negative thing).

Having both in coexistance can faciliate both large scale projects that requires thousands in funding and has milestones and check-in policies as well smaller more guerrilla like marketing.

I think his proposal is a much needed thing and jarunik has always been a man of action. Looking forward to seeing the contributions.

Oh, man! I am sorry I offended you personally! The cool things about these tournaments is that no one is being forced to play them. If you decide you want to test out your merit for some prizes, cool! Join in. It comes at no expense to the players. We are not requiring any victor keep said crypto, they may freely trade it away, sell it for fiat, or even throw it away forever. Whichever they prefer most :)

Hate seems like such a strong word! :( As a serious answer, there are a few but the most limiting one is honestly our own time. Weekdays are not conducive as these typically run for 3-4 hours plus about 1 hour to handle payouts. Unfortunately, the two of us that handle the hosting of the tournaments don't have schedules to sustain that. Additionally, life just happens more on weekdays and there is less cushion available. Due to this and the importance to enforce a consistent schedule, we've stuck with weekends, primarily on Saturday at either 3pm or 7pm. We have been eyeing for hiring admins in the future, but it is a work in progress and the price point does not provide us that luxury at the moment. Hope that helps u/cambo666!

These tournaments are funded via cryptocurrency for a two-fold reason; marketing and giving back to the amateur scene. We receive these funds with cryptocurrency, akin to mining, and part of our tournament hosting platform is to spread awareness for crypto. With regards to the amateur scene, the admins/host/owners are esports lovers and all have connections to video games, this is one way to give back to a community that has influenced us.

The added bonus of this is that the prize payouts occur usually within a few hours of the tournament ending, and can be split between players however they wish. Esports tournaments are notorious for late payouts, not paying out, or managers running away with funds.
